An UpneaVaL
'Twas out behind old Granther's barn,
One bright half-holiday,
1sat upon an old nail keg
And puffed my fears away; E
And as the binding smoke arose
It looked so quaint, bizarre
1breathed sigh, fond, proud sigh
It was my first cigar.
/ tried to knock the ashes of AN
And blow those pretty rings, e
But somehow didn't have great sport,
Nor like the feel of things; E
The trees began to rock and reel, IL:
My joy sank under par; .I'
threw it from me-spare the tale a.,
1t was my first cigar. =
1leaned my elbows on my knees,
And looked down on the ground;
My sighs were now not fond nor proud,
And things kept sailing round.
Uncanny shapes possessed the earth,
And grinning sprites the ar
Alas! the smoky tears proclaimed
Itwas my first cigar.
I've oft since then seen hopes decay,
Lost many a fond gazelle,
Had sweethearts skip with other men,
And speculations fail;
But I've never known a sorrow
That could with that compare,
When out behind old Granther's barn
Ismoked 1ny first cigar.

ONE woMAN's WORK.

What q "Esight Smart Michigan Woman
Accomplished in One Year.
Some weeks ago, says the Niles (Mich.
Democrat, we promised, if possible, to OBJ
tain an account of the work done by one
OF our Michigan ladies in one year. This
lady is Mrs. Catherine arberry, and the
record from fall of 1885 to fall Of 1886 is
substantially as follows, in her own con-
else language:
s'Shelled fifty. five bushels of corn and
put it in the bin. Got home $500 pounds
of coal and put it in the bin. Trimmed
eighty rods of fence and burned most of
the brush. Sheared eight sheep. Dropped
eleven acres of corn and helped cover 1t.
Worked three acres of corn, plowed it
five times, and hoed it once. Topped it
and hauled the fodder to the barn.
Snapped the corn and took it to the barn,
where my husband, eighty.six years,
husked it. It made one hundred and five
bushels in the ear. gathered my pump
kins and dug my potatoes and got fifteen
cords of wood in the shed and piled it up.
Gathered my apples and put them in the
cellar. Took my cider apples to the mill
and brought back five barrels of cider.
Took one load to the cider-mill and sold
them. l spaded up the ground and
planted and worked my garden.
Moved twenty rods of rail fence
and helped move twenty more.
I cut and made my husband one
coat, and cut and made vest and pants
and four shirts and hemmed three pocket
handkerchlefs for him. Made myself six
dresses (three nice ones and three COM
mon ones), nine aprons, one polonaise,
eight pairs of pillow-cases, four sheets,
and hemmed twelve napkins. There are
nine hundred and twenty three pages in
the Old Testament, and I read 619 pages be-
sides religious and other papers, and kept
q diary Of the weather and of my work,
and an account of what we bought and
sold, with day and date. Did my housework
and took care of my stock-three horses,
three head of cattle, eight sheep and fifty
hens-and raised pet cat"

4 Pair of Trousers That Looked Decided
-. " Unique, If Not Nobby.
In the same building with me in prison
was gallant young officer of the Twelfth
Georgia Infantry, bearing my exact name
and rank, says writer in the Philadelphia
Times. By some means he had made the
acquaintance through the mail of a sympa-
thizing friend in Baltimore, who had made
repeated efforts to force him into COR
respondence, as much or more for his COM
fort and pleasure as for hers. He was a
modest, bashful man, and had found it irk-
some to write. Very happily for me, he
proposed that should take his place, as
my name and rank was identical with his.
closed in at once with the idea and made
myself solid. She inquired If I needed
any thing in the way of money, food or
clothing, expressing herself as abundantly
able to respond. I thanked her and told
her needed many things for which was
willing to pay her when I got out of prison,
but for the present would be more than
obliged if she would send me pair OF
pants. She was only too glad, and begged
an immediate reply, sending my measure
and such other directions as were neces-
sary. did not know any thing about
tailors' measurements, but simpl y gave

have sent inside measure. She responded
by return mail that in all the beautiful

inches No mistake there, for had stood
up alongside of plank and got one of the
boys to measure me with a rule. Back
again went the order for the longest
legged pants ever constructed in the Mon.
umental City. The goods were bought and
the garment cut and made according to
diagram from me. In due time they came,
and when went down into their abysmal
depths, surrounded by my envious COM
rades, the effect was a sight to behold.
The pistol pocket was we'll up under the
right shoulder blade, the waistband acted
likewise for a cravat, and when my feet
struck bottom they trailed along like an
Arctic bed. The turned-up part buttoned
nicely at the knee, but barring little
fluffiness about the ankle in rolling them
up and suffocating, bandage-llke snug

Again, the young men must not forget
as they read of the great battles Of history
that few of them can compare in magni
tude with the greatest battles of the civil
war, and that the battles of that war were
the bloodiest in all the history of wars in
the proportion of killed to those engaged.
Waterloo was one of the most desperate
and bloody fields chronicled in European
history, and yet Wellington's casualties
were less than 12per cent, his losses be-
ing 2, 432 killed and $3.50 wounded out of
over 75,0 ,0Oo men, while at Shiloh one side
lost in killed and wounded 9, 740 out of 3d.
600, while their opponents report their
killed AMI wounded at 9,616, making the
battle of Wagram Napoleon lost but about
5 per cent. At Wurzburg the French lost
but 315 per cent, and yet the army gave up
the field and retreated to the Rhine.
At Racour, Marshal Sake lost but 215 per
cent. At Zurich, Massena lost but per
cent. At Lagriz Frederick lost but 6115
per cent. At Malplaquet, Marlborough
lost but 10 par cent, and at Families the
same intrepid commander lost but 8 per
cent.
At Contras. Henry Of Navarro was re-
ported as cut to pieces, yet his loss was
less than 10 per cent. At Lodi, Napoleon
lost II per cent. At Valmy, Frederick
William lost but 8 per cent, and at the
great battles of Marengo and Austerlitz,
sanguinary as they were Napoleon lost an
average Of less than 1415 per cent. At
Magenta and Solferino, in 1859, the aver
age loss of both armies was less than per
cent. At Koniggratz, in 1856, it was per
cent. At Werth, Spicheren, Mars la Tour,
Gravelotte and Sedan, in 1870. the average
loss was 12 per cent, while at Linden
General Moreau lost but 4 per cent. and
the Archduke John lost but per cent in
killed and wounded. Americans would
scarcely call this lively skirmish.

mauga, Atlanta, Gettysburg, Mission
Ridge, the Wildernesses and Spottsyl.
vania, the loss frequently reached, and
sometimes exceeded, 40 per cent, and the
average of killed and wounded on one side
or the other was over 30 per cent.
OF the gentlemen who were at West
Point during one period of cadetship,
fifty-six were killed in battle, and esti-
mating the rate Of killed and wounded at
one to five, $50 were wounded.
From the discovery of America to 1861 in
all wars with other nations the record
gives the deaths IN battle Of but ten Amer
ican Generals, while from 1861 to 1865,
both sides being opposed by Americans,
more than 100 general officers fell while
leading their columns. From 1892 to 1861
the killed and wounded upon American
soil in all battles combats and skirmishes,
added together, as shown by reports,
hardly exceeiei the casualties of single
battles of the great Am erican conflict.

The Agricultural society is indebt
ed for part of the purchase money
Of their magnificent grounds in this
city. The county fair is one Of the
institutions which aid us in building
up the permanent prosperity OF our
city, with the superb agricultural in
terest all around the county. This
debt has prevented the society from
doing all it might have done had it
not been thus incumbcrsd, to promote
the general prosperity of both city
and county. The property owned by
the society is worth many times the
incumbrance. The society cannot
afford to lose it, and the public gen
orally, and especially the citizens of
Owosso, cannot afford to let the
property be sold and used for other
purposes. Hence it seems to us that
it would be real good policy for the
city 10 pay off the membranes, take
from the society mortgage running
for long term of years, without in
terest, for the amount required to
pay all existing membranes. This
would be no burden to the tax payers
of the city; would secure for all time
this valuable addition and incentive
to the manufacturing and productive
industries of Shiawassee county, and
enable the management to make It's
annual exhibits in such manner as
would do most for the general pros
perity of our people. The TINES
favors the payment Of the mortgage
in the interest and for the promotion
of the city's prosperity. 1t is not a
donation that is asked for; simply a
lean, well secured.

Jackson's Infamous Utterances.

The Albany journal calls attention to
the fact that not single Democratic paper
in this country has disapproved the in
famous utterances of Cleveland's ex-Min-
lister to Mexico that the day of final tri-
umph for the secession cause will come,
and that lin that triumphant procession
Abraham Lincoln shall not move as the
rightful President, but Jefferson Davis,
the So called traitor leader of the So called
lost cause" or the equally infamous decla-
ration at the dedication of Lees monu-
ment, that the name of Lee should ride
down the years side by side with that of
Washington as "the twin rebels of the
South" More disloyal words than these
have not been spoken since the close OF the
war, and yet not a Democratic paper can
be found loyal enough to denounce them.
Even Democratic President but yester-
day was talking platitudes to the men who
applauded these infamous utterances about
the beauties of sectional harmony. So
long as such things can happen there can
be no harmony between patriotic men and
those who are engaged in them. Union
men can never let the sectional issue rest
when they are tainted and insulted in this
manner.
